Nintendo Can't Promise Wiis for Christmas

Nintendo's George Harrison? Total party pooper. First he rains on Sony's price-cutting parade, now he brings word that Wii's are probably going to be thin on the ground this Christmas:

There is no guarantee that we are not going to have 'out-of-stocks' this holiday season. If you see one, buy it. Don't assume that you can come back later and find one.
OK, George? No. Get choppy-choppy with building more of the things. Last year the Wii was new, we could cut Nintendo some slack, but if you can't build enough Wiis this Christmas, over a year later, you've screwed up.
